How to View a Solar Eclipse

How to View a Solar Eclipse

Eclipses used to be considered portents for all kinds of catastrophes, such as earthquakes, pestilence and breakfast cereal name-changes. However, the tragedies they foretold most accurately were large numbers of people being partially blinded by staring at the eclipse for too long. Fortunately that happens less often now, as these days the hype that leads up to eclipses usually contains plenty of safety warnings.
But what is it about eclipses that can damage your eyes so badly? Well, it's plain old sunlight. Normally you hardly spend any time looking directly at the sun (usually not more than a second) but since an eclipse is a major spectacle, you'll want to stare at it for a couple of minutes. If you've ever looked at a strong light, looked away and seen the image of the light still glowing in your vision, you've experienced retina burn-in. The retina's at the back of your eye, and it's covered in millions of light-detecting sensors that translate the light that's hitting them into an image to send to your brain. When very strong light hits them they effectively get bruised, and they'll still be reporting the light even when you're not looking at it any more. Usually it only takes a few seconds for them to recover, but that's after looking at a strong light bulb for a minute, or the sun for a couple of seconds. Looking at the sun for a whole minute, however, can cause much worse damage those sensors, possibly even permanently. (If you've ever magnified the sun's light and used it to set fire to something, you've seen how powerful it can be.) And you can't rely on your pain sensors to tell you when you've had enough, either.
So looking at the eclipse directly without any form of protection is obviously a bad idea. The other options we're going to discuss are:
Not looking at it at all.
Looking at it through special dark glasses.
Projecting the image of the eclipse onto something else and looking at that.
Forget option 1. Eclipses are just too interesting to ignore.
Option 2 can be a bit risky. Firstly, normal sunglasses won't do the job properly - you'll need lenses that are much darker than that. Around eclipse time there are usually special sunglasses on sale, specifically meant for totality viewing. These are probably okay to use, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that safety is rather lower on the manufacturers' priority lists than cashing in on a stellar event, and so you may want to move on to option 3.
Image projection is the method that all the smart astronomers bang on about, so it's the one we'll explain in depth. The two main components of a projector are a hole to focus the light, and a screen to project the image on to. The focus hole should be in a thin but opaque surface - aluminium foil's good, especially if you make a cardboard frame for it. (It's easy: get a sheet of cardboard, cut a hole in it, cover the hole with foil, you're done.) The hole itself should be tiny; make it with a pin. (The smaller the hole, the more focused the image will be.) A piece of white cardboard will be fine for the projection screen.
To get a decent-size image, you'll need to hold the focus hole quite far from the screen. The image diameter will be approximately one-hundredth of the distance from the hole to the screen, so if you hold the hole three metres from the screen, the image will be about three centimetres across.
That's the basic principle, but there are many ways of making a projector. You can be fancy about it: take a very long cardboard box or tube, put the focus hole at one end and use the inside of the other end as the screen (you've have to cut a hole in the side so you can see it). Alternatively you can go in the opposite direction, forget about the foil and pin and just cross your fingers at right angles, using the gaps as focus holes.
There you go! All you need now is:
Some card, foil and a pin.
Something fun to do while everyone else is blinded.
A primitive civilisation that you can trick into believing that you're some kind of sun god.
A clear sky.

Sixth Sense




Do we really have Sixth Sense?



Humans have five basic senses, which enable them to interact with the outside world. These are: hearing, smell, sight, taste, and touch. Many people seem to possess a sixth sense (psychic sense). This (sixth sense) helps people to sense information beyond the domain of five senses, and have claimed to predict the future, sense spirits and read others mind.
The term sixth sense was coined by the German scientist Dr Rudolf Tischner in 1920. He defined this as an Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) which include telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, retrocognition and psychometry.




Telepathy refers to mind-to-mind communication. Clairvoyance is the ability to see things not available by known senses. Precognition is the power to foresee future events, Retrocognition is the strength to see past events and psychometry is the power to know the history of an object.
Every person has experienced sixth sense at some point or other during his or her lives. The degree varies from individual to individual. It is still not known how the sixth sense operates, and it is not associated with any of the body organs. This leads to the conclusion that the process is entirely mental involving human soul or the subconscious mind.
Scottish researchers claim to have found scientific proof for communication among spiritual mediums. Prof Archie Roy concludes that mediums communicate using more than the five normal senses. In his experiments the communication was established using a microphone and the identities of all involved were physically separated in different rooms and kept confidential. The research is still on to prove how the medium actually transmits this information. If there is an emotional tie between two individuals, the medium can pick the signals. This can be compared to the transmission of radio signals.




The only person who can certify this phemomenon is the one who actually receives the message. Researchers at Germany’s Freiberg University seem to have evidence in support of the existence of sixth sense.
Some researchers refer sixth sense to be an instinct. Animals and the insects use it all the time. The intuitive human mind wants empirical evidence for all the traits. Further, the empirical evidence is not separated from other five senses.




There are lot of examples, like radio waves, where we cannot perceive things with our five senses. Certain high pitch voices are there, which only the dogs can hear. It took years of research to prove that there exist things called "germs". These are beyond the purview of the five basic senses. We cannot see, taste, feel, hear or smell germs on our hands.




There are number of evidences, where the dogs have warned their masters of some potential mishappening. Many animals get nervous before an earthquake is to occur. This may be attributed either to their sixth sense or vibration sensory powers, more sensitive than humans.
It has been reported that the animals’ "sixth sense" saved them from recent tsunami disaster. Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found. The waves washed floodwaters upto two miles inland biggest wildlife reserve of Srilanka, hosting hundreds of wild elephants and leopards, but not a single body of any animal was found. There are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters.




There are numerous stories of people having dreams that later came true to some extent. Abraham Lincoln is said to have dreamt of his death, days before he was assassinated. A completely blind Britisher has been shown to possess "sixth sense" which enables him to recognise emotions on people’s faces. Brain scans of the blind person revealed that when the man looked at faces depicting emotion, it activated a part of his brain called the right amygdala, which responds to non-verbal emotional signals.




The research to prove the existence of sixth sense is going on. For verification, the phenomenon must be measurable and repeatable. The drawback with sixth sense is that it is impossible to repeat experiments with it. The more the person attempts to use his sixth sense, the less it seems to work.




All the medical explanations have failed for near death experiences. "Cybersense" has already emerged as a weak link between the five senses and the sixth sense. The inventions of modern times were research topics a few years back. The research on sixth sense will pave the way for facts and conclusions related to this intuitive sense.

Reincarnation according to Hinduism



What do you think about Reincarnation???

Reincarnation is a core belief within Hinduism. In most Indian philosophical traditions, including the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and Jain systems, an ongoing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth is assumed as a fact of nature. These systems differ widely, however, in the terminology with which they describe the process and in the metaphysics they use in interpreting it. Within Hinduism, it is avidya, or ignorance, of one's true self, that leads to ego-consciousness of the body and the phenomenal world. This grounds one in desire and the perpetual chain of karma and reincarnation।

In India the concept of reincarnation is recorded in detail within the Upanishads (c. 800 BCE), which are philosophical and religious texts composed in Sanskrit. The notion of reincarnation is most notably present in the Śvetāśvatara Upanishad 5.11 and Kauśītāki Upanishad 1.2. According to Professor Joanna Jurewicz of Warsaw University, reincarnation theory is also found in the Rigveda, which generally considered the oldest Hindu scripture.

According to Hinduism, the soul (atman) is immortal, while the body is subject to birth and death. The Bhagavad Gita states that:
Worn-out garments are shed by the body; Worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body. New bodies are donned by the dweller, like garments.
[2]
The idea that the soul (of any living being - including animals, humans and plants) reincarnates is intricately linked to karma, another concept first introduced in the Upanishads. Karma (literally: action) is the sum of one's actions, and the force that determines one's next reincarnation. The cycle of death and rebirth, governed by karma, is referred to as samsara.
Hinduism teaches that the soul goes on repeatedly being born and dying. One is reborn on account of desire: a person desires to be born because he or she wants to enjoy worldly pleasures, which can be enjoyed only through a body.
[3] Hinduism does not teach that all worldly pleasures are sinful, but it teaches that they can never bring deep, lasting happiness or peace (ānanda). According to the Hindu sage Adi Shankaracharya - the world as we ordinarily understand it - is like a dream: fleeting and illusory. To be trapped in Samsara is a result of ignorance of the true nature of being.
After many births, every person eventually becomes dissatisfied with the limited happiness that worldly pleasures can bring. At this point, a person begins to seek higher forms of happiness, which can be attained only through spiritual experience. When, after much spiritual practice (
sādhanā), a person finally realizes his or her own divine nature—ie., realizes that the true "self" is the immortal soul rather than the body or the ego—all desires for the pleasures of the world will vanish, since they will seem insipid compared to spiritual ānanda. When all desire has vanished, the person will not be reborn anymore.

Dreams predict the future

Can Dreams predict the future?

I think..... all dreams come true, but not always as we see them in the dream. I have a standard answer for this question which I copy below. I notice that this question is getting more and more frequent on this site. It is encouraging to see that dreamers today come out freely with this mysterious happening. Not so long ago people were afraid of talking about it fearing that others will think they are mad. But they are not mad, they are very sharp observers and also very fortunate for it is a sign of waking up to the true meaning of life. Here is my lenghty answer to this mystery. If I made it shorter I would not do the dream proper justice.

Dreaming things ahead comes up quite often on this site; I am keeping count of it and process the results. The odds are in favour of dreams coming true. I have studied this matter for forty years and have learnt to read dreams the way you read your news paper. I see my dreams coming true every day and beyond.

Those who say dreams do not come true have not studied them. They speak off the cuff. If anyone says to you: “Dreams are not of the future, ask them this question: “How many dreams have you recorded and followed up?” And by following up I mean looking at what happens every day and beyond that might correspond with your dreams recorded.

Most people are aware of déjà vus. The sceptics will say that déjà vu is coincidence or a trick of the brain. Apart from one exception where there is a faulty neurological function, the déjà vu stems from a dream.

Those who have actually seen clearly that the déjà vu is based on a dream are very fortunate, for they can understand from EXPERIENCE that dreams do indeed come true and that those who speculate otherwise are speaking in ignorance.

When you have had this déjà vu experience and realised that it stemmed from a dream it is a sign of spiritual awakening. In time you will discover that dreams are the blue print for your life and that everything is planned for you and that there is really nothing else to be done but to enjoy the 'ride'. What I am about to reveal now is the most open secret of life which many fail to discover because they are engrained in the brain wash of western scientific prejudice.

I have made a lifelong study of the future factor of dreams and found that ALL dreams are about the FUTURE. At the beginning of our AWAKENING to this fact we can only see those dreams come true that manifest literally, those which are coming true as you have dreamt them, in short, those that manifest as DÉJÀ VUS.

As you focus more on this phenomenon, you will see that dreams are the basis of all PSYCHIC PERCEPTION. They are the cause not only of DÉJÀ VU, but also of PREMONITIONS, of INTUITION, INSTINCT and ALL PSYCHIC PHENOMENA as well. The difference between these and the DÉJÀ VU is that you have no recollection of the dream that told you what would happen or where an IDEA or INSPIRATION or PREMONITION etc. came from.

I said ALL dreams come true, but only few in the way we see it happen in the dream. Those we miss coming true have come true in a figurative or METAPHORICAL manner.

Example: you may dream that you are sailing on a cloud through the skies. When you wake up you won't of course fly up there, but instead you will FEEL AS IF you were up there sailing through the clouds. And if you were asked how you felt on the day of this dream, you would most likely say: "I AM ON CLOUD NINE!"

We are so used to metaphors in our daily speech that we don't even realise that we use them constantly. We take them for granted but when the dream uses them we find it 'weird'. Just look at some oft the daily metaphors we use in waking life such as: He stabbed me in the back, he is a pain in the neck, she is caught in a vice, he is weak kneed, he shot himself in the foot, you haven't got a leg to stand on, he has fallen in love... FALLEN?? Why do we say FALLEN? Do we mean this literally or metaphorically? The latter of course and so does the dream with all of its metaphors.

Once you learn the language of the dream you will realise that we are in the hands of a power that is much grater than our little selves. Once you have realised deeply that dreams are your PROMPTERS at the footlights of the THEATRE OF LIFE, you will learn to resign to that Power that knows all and IS all.

Indeed, you will understand that you are not separate from that Power. You will also see that TIME IS AN ILLUSION. You will comprehend then that when we are awake we are governed by that part of the brain that slows everything down to a step by step perception of reality, and you will also see that when we are asleep and dream that another part of the brain is at work; one that allows you to see some distance into the future, one in which the barriers of time have broken down to a certain extent.

One of the best pieces of evidence that time is illusory and has different speeds is the Near Death Experience during which many persons in the grips of dying see their whole life passing before their eyes on 'fast forward' at such a high speed that it only takes minutes to cover an entire life experience in the tiniest details.

With this in mind you realise that THE BRAIN HAS THREE BASIC ‘GEARS’: The first ‘gear’ being the waking gear where things move slowly moment by moment with the future remaining totally hidden.

The second ‘gear’ is the dream gear. There time and space are contracted like the information in a zip program for the computer. Once unscrambled on the ‘desktop’ it will reveal facts and events of the future.

The third gear is the ‘fast-forward’ gear that comes into action as you approach death.

There is also a fourth slot for your gears stick: ‘NEUTRAL’.

This neutral position is the most difficult to grasp. Only the mystical experience will open up the brain to that most incomprehensible of all ‘gears’. I called it ‘neutral’ because it is open to all directions simultaneously: you experience past, present and future in one instant. It is the supreme evidence that time is an illusion.

I am appending the most recent witness to this phenomenon; one who has taught the modern world all about dreams and psychology. He is Dr. Carl Jung. Here is what he said about this ‘neutral gear’: “We shy away from the word ‘eternal’, but I can describe the experience only as the ecstasy of a non-temporal state in which present, past and future are one…How can I imagine that I exist simultaneously the day before yesterday, today, and the day after tomorrow? … The only thing that feeling could grasp would be a sum, an iridescent whole, containing all at once expectation of a beginning, surprise at what is now happening, and satisfaction or disappointment with the result of what happened. One is interwoven into an indescribable whole and yet observes it with complete objectivity.”
(Page 327; C. G. Jung Memories, Dreams, Reflections; Collins, ‘The Fontana Library’.)

This experience shows that we, who have not had it, are simply split personalities, split into the dreamers and ‘wakers’. And the ultimate purpose of studying and interpreting dreams is to realise that we are split and that the dream is ultimately the rainbow bridge to total integration of the SELF.

WHERE DOES OUR EARTH STAY IN THE UNIVERSE?






WHERE DOES OUR EARTH STAY IN THE UNIVERSE?


The solar system is made up of the Sun, the 9 planets and their
// Call the moon count function defined in the document head
print_moon_count('entire solar system');
169
known moons, asteroids, comets, dust and gas. The planets, asteroids, and comets travel around the Sun, the center of our solar system.
Most of the bodies in the solar system travel around the Sun along nearly circular paths or orbits, and all the planets travel about the Sun in the anticlockwise direction (when viewed from above).
Solar system
formation began billions of years ago, when gases and dust began to come together to form the Sun, planets, and other bodies of the solar system.


If we see inside the earth, it looks very big beyond to our thinking. but if we look outside the earth, it looks endless beyond to our existence where the earth does'nt look atleast like a particles among uncountable particles of the universe. Just see them....
